Helen is great, Tom is a hack

“I’ve been trying to stick with this show for the sake of Helen Thompson’s excellent political analysis, but Tom is just too much of a hack for me to stomach.
I listen to podcasts to learn new things and gain additional perspectives. The problem is that Tom is all opinion all the time, it’s vapid hot take after vapid hot take. Every discussion regarding America is about his favorite pet theory “American Imperialism” without ever even beginning to acknowledge other perspectives. And I cannot stand the way he drips all over himself when he talks about Donald Trump’s “tactical brilliance.”
Helen, by contrast, sticks the facts and develops her arguments (whether I agree with them or not) based on those facts. For Tom, there is no basis in facts. Only pet theories of everything and the regurgitation of them as though they were true.
I’m unsubscribing, which is a shame cause I’ll miss the 2/5ths of the episode where Tom lets Helen speak.”

“No analysis of apparent Israeli escalations and reasoning behind it, which is a significant omission if this podcast wants to be taken seriously.”

“So insightful, intelligent and measured. Each episode can and should be listened to multiple times to extract maximum value from what they have to say.”
